When we started this journey, we didn't quite know what to expect. We signed a three year contract and started our blog for you to follow along. We were looking forward to living outside of America, experiencing a different culture, and trying something new.
Our expectations have been exceeded on every possible level. We love our jobs, we travel all of the time, we see our family more than when we lived in Lubbock, we have amazing friends and a wonderful church. We are blessed beyond measure and beyond our wildest expectations.
Here's a summary of all that we've seen and done in the past 1001 nights. We have been to Ireland, Italy, England, Spain, Russia, and the Czech Republic. We've been to Jordan, Oman, Qatar, and Egypt. In Africa, we've been to Kenya and Tanzania, and in Asia, Thailand and China. We've also been to India, and of course, to America.
We've prepared pasta in Tuscany, cooked curry in Thailand, and sampled ham in southern Spain. We've sipped Jameson in Ireland, sherry in Andalucia, vodka in Russia, and chianti in, well, Chianti.
We've stood atop dunes in the Empty Quarter, climbed Kilimanjaro, explored Yosemite, camped at the "grand canyon" of Arabia, and safaried in Africa. We've attended a wedding in India and biked the Golden Gate bridge. We've toured the Collosseum in Rome, wandered through Egyptian temples in Luxor, and hiked to Petra. We've been to St. Peter's in Rome and St. Basil's in Moscow.
So what did we do on our 1001st night? We sat at home in Dubai - exhausted and thankful. But keep reading - because the best part of our adventures thus far is that we've signed up for 1001 more nights!
